Epomaker, known for its keyboards, is testing new waters with the Click Mouse, its first foray outside of its core product line. Priced at $69.99, this device comes with specifications common in the mid-range gaming segment, like the PAW3950 sensor and support for up to an 8K polling rate. The mouse is aimed at gamers, tech-forward users, and professionals interested in portability and performance. This review combines hands-on findings with select perspectives from online users, drawing clear lines between firsthand experience and external commentary.
All about the Epomaker Click Mouse: Size, design, and first impressions
The Epomaker Click Mouse is compact, and at first, it felt too small for my hand, almost as if it was designed for someone with smaller hands or fewer fingers. Over time, though, it became more manageable, and using it daily did not result in fatigue or discomfort. The shape works especially well for claw or fingertip grip users, though those with much larger hands may need an adjustment period. While there is no enhanced ergonomic shaping, I could use it for many hours a day over the course of weeks without any pain, which speaks to its general comfort for long-term use.

Design is on the simple side. The build does not include ambience or decorative lighting. The colored lighting onboard is only intended as quick feedback for configuration actions, such as indicating DPI level changes, and switches off rapidly. This is distinct from the RGB effects Epomaker integrates into its keyboards. The design misses an opportunity to appeal visually, especially for users who enjoy lighting features common on other gaming mice. This is something that could be addressed in future product updates.
Material choices and tactile experience are similarly subdued. The plastic and general finish do not provide the same haptic feel as Epomaker’s better-known keyboards. Some users may view this as a step down, depending on familiarity with other Epomaker products. Build quality overall feels consistent for the price. There was no serious deterioration in the test period, but some minor quirks were noted. The wheel does not support infinity scrolling, which might stand out to power users accustomed to higher-end peripherals. There was occasional squeakiness when clicking, and the material quality could be improved. Like all mice, regular cleaning and basic maintenance are necessary to keep it in good condition. Long-term durability cannot be assessed from a few weeks’ use, but nothing suggested immediate concerns in normal conditions.
The overall design does not introduce standout features or unique selling points. Rather, it positions itself as a straightforward, serviceable entry. It lacks flashy elements, but also avoids obvious flaws in everyday use. However, it’s at least available in black or white color options so you can match your setup when you purchase it.
Performance, specs, and polling rate
Core performance is driven by the PAW3950 sensor, supporting DPI settings from 800 up to 42,000. In practical terms, tracking was reliable for both editing and gaming, with no issues like stutter or skipping during the review period. The mouse weighs about 57–58 grams, so it’s light enough to travel with easily and glides well during longer sessions. Polling rate can reach up to 8000 Hz, which the brand highlights as a key feature. For most users, polling rate describes how often the mouse communicates with the computer, measured in hertz.
A higher polling rate can mean lower input lag and more accurate cursor response. This matters most for competitive gamers, especially in high-speed scenarios. In regular productivity use or casual gaming, the difference between 1000 Hz and 8000 Hz is negligible for most people. The inclusion does help the Click Mouse remain competitive in technical comparisons, though it will not shift the experience for every user. Wireless connectivity presented no issues in daily testing. It worked as needed and did not disconnect or lag, with nothing notably positive or negative to report. The battery charge lasts several days, which is on the pro side of things as well.
Software, maintenance, and everyday experience
Epomaker provides software for this mouse, but it was not used for this review. The device functioned out of the box without the need to install or adjust anything, which is often a plus for plug-and-play convenience. According to some user comments, the software is basic and could benefit from refinement, but it covers the essentials like DPI setting and button remapping.
If you need heavy customization, you may want to explore it further. For most, the default settings are serviceable and require no changes. Routine maintenance is standard: mice in regular use collect dust and oils from hands, so occasional cleaning is needed, as with any tool used daily. There were no major signs of wear, and deterioration over extended periods cannot be guaranteed or dismissed from this short-term experience.
Target audience
The Click Mouse is best suited for gamers who value performance and portability, as well as users needing a mouse that can easily travel in a bag or pocket. Its compact profile supports mobile use, either for work or gaming, making it a reasonable pick for those who switch contexts often. It would fit right in for someone who needs a backup device they can rely on for a full workday or intense gaming sessions, without resorting to bulkier hardware.
The absence of unique features, deluxe materials, or strong design statements limits its appeal to enthusiasts looking for more flair or customizability. The lack of ambient lighting, in particular, feels like a missed opportunity, especially considering Epomaker’s track record in keyboard designs. There is hope that future iterations will cater to these expectations.
Value and market position
With a retail price of $69.99, the Click Mouse is firmly in the mid-range of gaming mice, but the tangible value may feel more like $20–$30 to some users. On Amazon, you can currently get it at a discount, but this might not always be available. Using softer language, it can be said that the pricing reflects both its entry-level nature for Epomaker in the mouse space and its feature set. Functionality meets expectations for the category, but design and build choices could lead some buyers to seek alternatives at a similar price. Flexibility is warranted when judging a first effort from a brand branching out, and it’s fair to anticipate more refined future models.
Closing thoughts
General sentiment among user comments focuses on the accurate sensor and comfortable grip for specific hand sizes and styles. The shape and weight earn praise for portability, though the absence of decorative lighting, infinity scrolling, and premium haptics are highlighted as drawbacks. Some note that the mouse offers no headline features to set it apart, and the occasional squeaky click stands out as a small detractor.

To summarize, the Epomaker Click Mouse covers all the basics needed for a travel-friendly gaming or work mouse, solidly but without flourish or unique selling points. Its design, feature set, and handling are good enough for a first product in this new category. There is clear room for growth, particularly when it comes to design and lighting. The elements that established Epomaker’s reputation in keyboards would be welcomed in future mouse releases. Expectations should be adjusted appropriately for what is a clear first attempt. The Click Mouse shows potential and provides a functional solution, and there is hope that future releases will push further in comfort, customizability, and visual appeal.
